Charles:
Well that’s it; you blokes had the weekend off, it’s time ta get back ta work… me ‘n Kosta are ready ta go!
I had ta let Dad and Grandpa do a bit too… else they feel left out 
After we ripped all the palms an’ stuff out on Monday, things were a bit messy
But by Thursday everything was lookin’ shipshape.
C’mon Dad, enough with the hose, it’s gettin’ dark… time for a cool drink!!
Charles:
Today was my name day, so after church me and Mum ‘n Dad ‘n Christian, plus Yia Yia, Grandma ‘n Grandpa, Aunty Katie and cousin Niki went to Cornucopia Restaurant for a feed
Pretty good venue actually; nice view… can ya see me in the middle there?
After we ate Grandpa took me exploring… the restaurant’s at the museum so we found all sortsa good stuff. I thought I’d write my name for ya, but I could only find a “C”…
and an “L”; doesn’t give a bloke much ta work with
Charles:
Sorry for the shortage of posts lately, but I’ve been reeeal busy while Mum’s been havin’ babies I had ta help Grandma make beds one day… pretty tiring work ya know!
There’s stockpiles ta be pushed up… Grandpa just keeps dumping stuff off!
Dad doesn’t seem ta be able ta keep the grass down without a bit of moral support from me
Then I had ta help Grandpa drill the holes for our new fence… I’m not exactly sure what the fence is for, but I’ve got my suspicions!
Dad and Grandpa set out all the posts and concreted them in…
But naturally I had ta help them with the mesh… even Gucci gave us a hand
Everyone reckons I don’t know what this fence is all about… but I’m on it, I tell ya; I’ve got my little mower lined up on the outside of them posts… just in case
Christian:
Eleven days old yesterday! and the community nurse came over and checked me out. All’s well, Mum’s been feeding me up real good; I’ve gained 275 grams already… 3.035 kilograms I am!
I dig my Mum… but I do wish she’d pull my other arm out
Christian:
Well, I was happy to get out of hospital and check out my new home in Knuckeys Lagoon. Charles looks like he’s about to sink his teeth into Dad
Home sweet home… time for a quick family portrait.
Check it out; my very own bed… I’ll grow into it, OK ?
Aaaah, just what I wanted, a good sleep… bye!
Christian:
I’ve only been born one day and, according to Mum, I’m already a one-eyed Collingwood supporter
Charles reckons I should keep both eyes on the ball, ’cause Collingwood beat Adelaide Crows today and that’s Dad’s team… uh oh !
What do you think Charles, should we mention the footy?
Nah, we’ll tell him a joke… he’ll forget about it… ’til Mum rubs it in
Hmmm, Magpies 106, Crows 74; I think Dad’s done for… it’s three onto one Dad!!
Hello all… nice to meet you
Dad and Charles are looking pretty pleased with themselves.
Yia Yia reckons I’m pretty good as well!!
You’d have a job to get the grin off Grandma’s face too
Charles is wondering how all this will affect him… how ya goin’ bro
Charles says “Thanks Auntie Katie for helpin’ Mum today!”
And a big Hi!! to all my other rellies in Darwin and scattered around Australia and the world… an’ a special wave for Uncle Morgwn and Auntie Anniee over there in Synny before I go to sleep.
Guess what?… I’ve got a new baby brother
Born today at 1228, 50 cm long and 2.78kg… 6lb 2 oz for all you dinosaurs!
Goodonya Mum and Dad XOXX… now about that sister ya promised me
Pix coming soon and a name I reckon!
